BACKGROUND Annually, large quantities of dyes are produced and consumed in different industries. The discharge of highly colored textile effluents to the aquatic environments causes serious health problems in living organisms. This paper investigates the performance of each of the electro-oxidation and electro-reduction pathways in the removal of reactive red 120 (RR120) from synthetic textile ...

We explore electro-catalytic properties of a system consisting of platinum and palladium nanoparticles dispersed over a nanotubular self-organized TiO2 matrix. These electrodes prepared by electroess and microemulsion of palladium and palladium nanoparticles on to TiO2 nanotubes, respectively. Titanium oxide nanotubes were fabricated by anodizing titanium foil in ethylene glycol (EG) fluoride-c...

Background: Sachse cold knife is conventionally used for optical internal urethrotomy to manage urethral strictures. In this procedure, the complications and recurrence rates are relatively high. We suggest combined electro cutter and cold knife as a success alternative in the management of intractable anterior urethral strictures. Methods: In this prospective...

BACKGROUND Bipolar electro-coagulation has a reported efficacy in treating epilepsy involving functional cortex by pure electro-coagulation or combination with resection. However, the mechanisms of bipolar electro-coagulation are not completely known. We studied the acute cortical blood flow and histological changes after bipolar electro-coagulation in 24 patients with intractable temporal lobe...

A novel model consisting of basic micro-processes has been developed on the basis of the classic diffusion theory. It is first time that the concept of exchange rate has been introduced and the growing process of surfactant-mediated epitaxial thin-film growth has been simulated with Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) technique. The results of simulation found that the exchange reaction of RLA model is a...

This study reports the removal of amoxicillin (AMX) in aqueous media using electro-Fenton process presence a graphite cathode recovered from used batteries. The impact relevant parameters on process, namely applied current intensity, temperature, initial concentration AMX and ferrous ions were investigated. results showed that optimal values were: I = 600 mA, T 25 °C, [AMX] 0 0.082 mmol·L ?1 [F...

The electroreduction mechanism of 1-Br-2-naphtol and 1-I-2-naphtol, two inherently chiral BINOL derivatives ([1,1′-Binaphthalene]-2,2′-diol, 6,6′-dibromo 1,1′-Binaphthalene,6,6′-dibromo-2,2′-dimethoxy; in the following named P1 P2, respectively), is characterized by means an integrated electrochemical theoretical approach. experimental characterization based on cyclic voltammetry measurements. ...
